Las Vegas is a resort city of almost 642,000 residents that’s famous for its casinos and as a draw for the world’s greatest entertainers who frequently take up long residencies in its glittering venues. The 2020 census shows almost 15% of the city’s population are aged 65 and older. They also know it to be a city of museums, great restaurants, beautiful parks and shopping districts suitable for most tastes and incomes.
More than 60 assisted living facilities have safe and comfortable homes for seniors who need a little help with common tasks, such as managing their medications and personal grooming. They also offer ample opportunities for residents to make new friends within their age groups and participate in facility-organized events and trips. The typical cost for placement in assisted living in Las Vegas is $3,650 per month, which is $100 below the state average and $850 lower than the country overall. For many seniors, below-average fees are another reason to move to a city internationally renowned for its vibrancy and wealth of attractions.
This guide considers the benefits and drawbacks of living in Las Vegas. It also reviews care costs and lists some helpful resources.

My mother went to Heritage Springs. They seemed nice, but they’re more assisted living where my mother went in as hospice. The people were very nice. I would recommend them. They’re expensive, but probably it’s the norm for that type of service. She stayed there for about eight days, but during that time, everybody was nice. The food was good. I just think she was further along than anybody realized. We all thought she would get into this lovely place and she’d perk up and she’d be different, but it just didn’t happen. She was in hospice, which means assisted living and then hospice came in, so hospice was taking care of her. She liked the food. I was pretty happy with the facility.
I recommend it so high. They have cooking classes, and bingo, they have the TV room, and they have theater night. I was very impressed with them and had hoped that my mother had gone in earlier when she could have enjoyed those. Unfortunately, she just went in as hospice and didn’t make it that long. They had a lot of activities and everybody was friendly and nice.
If she was in assisted living, I think it would be worth the money, but she wasn’t able to do those things. It’s a wonderful place. I was very happy. It’s expensive, but it’s a nice place. We had a few appointments, and once we saw Heritage, we kind of stopped and said, "No, that’s going to be it." We were very happy with them.

I am sharing my review in hopes that it will help other families, that may share in my experience. Making difficult decisions as these for your family, are challenging on all emotional levels. It was necessary that I move my father closer to me, as quickly as possible and did a great deal of research in the process. The care, time and personable way in which Oakmont of Las Vegas shared their services and commitment to my father, gave me great comfort. With this and with ease, I choose to move my dad in. Due to his condition at the time of his move in, it required that he be placed with their memory care team. I knew in my heart, that my father was not yet in the stages needing memory care and hoped with him settling in and their assessment, this could be changed. The team at Oakmont of Las Vegas from the first moment of his arrival, were attentive to our hopes and my father’s needs. After two weeks, assessment and most importantly getting to know my dad, they moved him from memory care to assisted living. I am incredibly grateful to all at Oakmont of Las Vegas, for making this happen and for his continued personalized care they provide each day.

When I toured Escalante at The Lakes, they were doing some construction on the rooms. It’s not on the main street, there’s one little driveway that goes down and it’s down that driveway, but you have to look for it. It’s a safe area, I would feel very safe walking because there’s a park right down the street. There’s no traffic around there, but they don’t have any undercover parking. The rooms were extremely small and the kitchen. It’s the best place I went to as far as location, but I can’t see myself living there because the rooms are too small and there’s no undercover parking. If I can find some other place in that area, that’d be nice, plus everything is very clean. They provide outings once in a while, they might go to a casino, or shopping trips to Walmart or something like that.

My husband is in Oakmont of the Lakes. I liked the fact that when I came in there, it had a pleasant aroma. Not like some of the places that have a stench. The rooms are very nice and they have a lot of activities. And the food is great. That’s basically why I chose it. He calls me and he tells me some of the things that he has for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And he says he’s very happy with the food. They had swordfish with some sort of exotic dressing on it. And he said it was good. If you’re hungry, you could have more than just one platter. You could have two servings or you could have three servings. They have bingo. Last Sunday, they had a piano concert. They had chairs set up and you were allowed to have a glass of wine if you like. He’s only been there less than a week, and I’ve been there like every other day, so I haven’t had a chance to see all the activities. They have a beauty shop and so they cut and style hair and shampoo. They have a theater and a great library. They have a whole wall of books, every kind you can think of. I believe they have some classes. They have a very good staff.

My mom is staying in Better Living For Seniors. She’s staying in the house there. I’ve been very pleased with the three young ladies and a gentleman that take care of my mom. I have nothing but good news. I really appreciated them. Where she was at before, I don’t like it, and my mom used to call me all the time. However, since she’d been in there, I haven’t had any phone calls. I would give them a lot of good credits. They give an excellent service. Activity-wise, I don’t see many. She has her own room, her own television and her own bedroom. I understand there’s not that much activity because of the pandemic. The things they said they used to have, they just don’t have it no more, but that’s fine. As long as I’m able to come and see my mom and interact with her, that’s all that matters to me. I appreciate what they do. If she wants to go outside, she can. She is able to walk around with her walker, and she can walk around the house if she feels up to it. The person who owns the place did some renovations, and what I’m seeing, it’s looking really good. They have a nice seating area, so that’s good.
For the most part, my mom has nothing to say about the food. I reiterate to them as far as what she can and she cannot eat. The food must not be bad at all because she never really complained about it too much. I really appreciate what they do. They make my days and nights a lot easier. If I can refer somebody, I will refer them there. The food has been good. What I’m paying for, at first I thought it was kind of steep, but for what the services and what I’m seeing, I’m not complaining. I feel good about it.

I went to tour TLC Costa Brava. I liked everything about that facility. It was very well-lit. The staff seemed very loving and nice. The rooms were nice. It looked like a place where you could be happy. It just really looked nice like they put on some thought into it. The staff was very personable, and there was the representative there, Tiana. She gave me the full tour and answered all my questions. It was beautiful.
They had a meal plan out which I appreciated. It was a basic meal plan, but they also let me know that they were able to accommodate my aunt’s needs if she wanted something personal. The dining area was open and lit. I liked that they had a theme going on that you could tell that they were celebrating holidays, and it looked nice. It was well kept, and there was a lot of room to get around in. They had a garden patio, a game room, and a visitor’s room (if you will), where they would video chat if necessary with family members.

I liked Sterling Ridge Senior Living. It was neat and clean. Everyone was very welcoming (from the staff to the residents). I spoke individually with the residents and they gave the facility a rave review. The two-bedroom, one-bath was handicapped-accessible throughout the rooms and the bathroom was extremely well put together for handicapped use. They also offer a studio, a one-bedroom, and a one-bedroom deluxe.
There are a lot of things to do. They go to someplace daily and you’re able to ask the driver to take you somewhere individually and accommodate all your needs. They go to all banks (not just one specific bank) on bank days and they have live guests coming in weekly for entertainment. What was nice is they have a big dance once a month where everyone gets dressed up and goes to the ball.
There’s a beauty salon, a library, a pool table, and a poker table. It had areas where you can sit and talk with others as well as common areas and a movie room. When they do movies, they get a pizza, popcorn, and soda. So they’re able to feel like they’re really at the movies. I enjoyed the tours and talking to the people. They’ve been great, very welcoming, very attentive, and very nice. The building itself is a little older though. So, I’d rate the building a 4, but the cleanliness is a 5.

My grandfather moved into Avamere at Cheyenne. They were one of the few places that offered a two-bedroom apartment setting, a lot of them only had just one bedroom or some of them did have a two-bedroom, but it was the cost of the two-bedroom that kind of set it apart. I think it just kind of came down to pricing and just the location. They are contracted with a pharmacy that’s able to deliver my grandfather’s medications, and they help him manage his medication. They do give him some assistance with bathing, and they have been providing him meals in his room when he’s not willing to go to the dining room. I know they have some group activities that they do throughout the week, and I believe there’s like an on-site person that has a salon, so somebody can cut his hair as well.

There’s a lack of communication being told that they’re going to do something and then it’s not being done consistently, just having to constantly go to somebody asking for them to do what they’ve been paying for them to do.

My grandfather moved into Avamere at Cheyenne. They were one of the few places that offered a two-bedroom apartment setting, a lot of them only had just one bedroom or some of them did have a two-bedroom, but it was the cost of the two-bedroom that kind of set it apart. I think it just kind of came down to pricing and just the location. They are contracted with a pharmacy that’s able to deliver my grandfather’s medications, and they help him manage his medication. They do give him some assistance with bathing, and they have been providing him meals in his room when he’s not willing to go to the dining room.

What to Consider About Assisted Living in Las Vegas
The Division of Health’s Bureau of Health Care Quality and Compliance is responsible for regulating, monitoring and licensing assisted living facilities in Nevada. Its tasks include investigating the legal and financial backgrounds of license applicants and carrying out regular inspections of approved facilities to ensure they continue to uphold standards. The Bureau also has the power to revoke licenses.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Las Vegas
- Las Vegas has an average cost of living index of 111.6, which is a little above the state figure of 110.5 and the national index of 100. Transportation and housing costs appear to be major factors, although the latter is unlikely to concern seniors in assisted living too much. They may be more interested in the health care index, which, at 92.3, is below the national mark and slightly lower than normal for Nevada.
- Helping Hands of Vegas Valley is a charity that provides free transportation for Nevada residents aged 60 and older. It can transport seniors throughout Vegas Valley in vehicles suitable for all passengers, including wheelchair users. Rides can be for medical appointments, grocery shopping and general errands. Although frail seniors have priority, the charity welcomes all residents who qualify.
- The dry, sunny climate in Las Vegas is popular with retirees, particularly those with respiratory conditions that may be affected by humid heat. Rainfall is low — typically 5 inches per year — and temperatures range from an average of 37 degrees Fahrenheit in January to 104 degrees Fahrenheit in July. There are almost 300 days of sunshine, which, along with the absence of hurricanes, earthquakes and tornadoes, makes the city one of the most popular retirement locations in the Southwest.
- Property and violent crime in Las Vegas is slightly more common than average for Nevada. However, data shows much of the city’s crime occurs in specific areas, such as The Strip and neighborhoods in and around West Las Vegas. Generally speaking, residential locations further from the tourist hotspots tend to have lower levels of crime. One of the benefits of assisted living communities is that they typically include surveillance and security systems.
- Las Vegas and neighboring cities are home to many health care facilities offering the full spectrum of medical care. Sunrise Hospital & Medical Center specializes in cardiology, burn care and urology, Summerlin Hospital has a cancer center and rehabilitation unit, and the Valley Hospital Medical Center has neurologists, orthopedic surgeons and stroke specialists.
Paying for Assisted Living in Las Vegas
At $3,650 per month, an assisted living placement in Las Vegas can save a senior around $1,200 annually when compared to the state average of $3,750.

The Cost of Other Types of Senior Care
Assisted living offers a financially attractive alternative to other types of care in Las Vegas. At an average of $3,650, it’s substantially more affordable than homemaker and home health aide services, both of which cost around $4,767 per month. Nursing homes cost considerably more, usually $8,273 for a semiprivate room and $10,646 for a private one. Only adult day centers have lower average fees, at $1,820.

Financial Assistance for Assisted Living in Las Vegas
The State of Nevada and Las Vegas’ Clark County offer a wide variety of programs for seniors, many of which can help with financial assistance. The state’s Medicaid can help with assisted living costs, as well as the Personal Care Services (PCS) program and a Home and Community Based Waiver which helps with assisted living costs.
Learn more about these programs, plus who’s eligible, on our Assisted Living in Nevada page.
More Ways to Pay for Assisted Living

- Veterans Benefits
- Life Insurance Policy
- Long-Term Care Insurance
- Reverse Mortgage

Free Assisted Living Resources in Las Vegas
Seniors in Las Vegas benefit from many free and subsidized resources aimed at making their lives more comfortable. The following list includes places where seniors can participate in a range of fun and educational activities, as well as services that offer help getting around the Vegas Valley area. There’s also comprehensive support for those who served their country.
Las Vegas Senior Center is a well-established facility in the downtown area where older residents can socialize and engage in a wide range of mentally and physically stimulating activities. For an annual membership fee of $10, plus additional costs for some classes, seniors can enjoy the billiards room, well-stocked library, computer lab and arts and crafts room. The Center also hosts dances and organizes field trips and excursions.
The Aging and Disability Services Division of the Department of Health and Human Services operates the Taxi Assistance Program. To qualify, the applicant must be aged 60 or older, reside in Clark County and have an annual income no more than 300% above the Federal Poverty Guidelines. Successful applicants receive coupons accepted by all of Clark County's taxi companies and which they can use to reduce their ride costs.
The Las Vegas Vet Center supports U.S. military veterans and their dependents. It provides free and confidential non-medical services, such as counseling for neurological conditions, including depression and PTSD. It also manages group therapy sessions. Additionally, it can refer vets to other VA-related services, such as Veterans Affairs for those who want help applying for benefits and the North Las Vegas VA Medical center for seniors in need of medical care.
The Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program is a state-sponsored resource providing free support and education for seniors in residential care communities. Ombudsmen are trained volunteers who help residents understand their rights and act as advocates if seniors complain about their quality of care. Ombudsmen also handle complaints registered by families and third parties. Additionally, they can provide copies of inspection reports for seniors comparing facilities for their long-term care.
Assisted Living Laws and Regulations in Las Vegas
Las Vegas Assisted Living Communities must adhere to the comprehensive set of state laws and regulations that all Assisted Living Facilities in Nevada are required to follow. Visit our Assisted Living in Nevada page for more information about these laws.
